OWB holsters "print" more than IWB holsters (i.e. it's easier to see that you have something under your shirt. I'm trying to wrap my head around why this is a worthwile concern. Here's my reasoning:
1) People who are savvy enough to identify a concealed weapon by the bulge under a shirt are usually the sort of fellow firearm enthusiasts who'd be cool with you open carrying.
2) Karens who're scared of guns have no idea what that bulge is.
3) Potential assailants aren't going to have the IQ above room temperature required to ID that bulge under your shirt.
4) Concealed handguns (even if blatantly printing) meet legal requirements for "concealed carry" in localities that restrict open carrying (i.e. even if you're wearing spandex over it, it's still technically concealed).
